Of course, we also have the responsibility to win games and the difficulty in the job is to combine both.

Sometimes you have to swallow the unswallowable.
Arsene Wenger
Image
English players are as easy to coach. The problem is that the Premier League has the best players in the world, and statistically not all of them can be born in England. But we don't have enough English players: we are working very hard on it.
Arsene Wenger
Image
I didn't know the English were good at swimming. I have been in this country for 12 years and I haven't seen a swimming pool.
Arsene Wenger
Image
When you're dealing with someone who only has a pair of underpants on, if you take his underpants off, he has nothing left - he's naked. You're better off trying to find him a pair of trousers to complement him rather than change him.
Arsene Wenger
Image
Everybody has a different opinion in this league and nobody is a prophet. I personally don't know who will win the league. I managed 1,600 games so, if Nani knows, he must be 1,600 times more intelligent than I am.
Arsene Wenger
Image
Nobody has enough talent to live on talent alone. Even when you have talent, a life without work goes nowhere.
Arsene Wenger
Image
A manager is a guide. He takes a group of people and says, 'With you I can make us a success I can show you the way.'

It's like you wanting to marry Miss World and she doesn't want you, what can I do about it? I can try to help you, but if she does not want to marry you what can I do?
Arsene Wenger
Image
I would be much more annoyed if we hadn't won the game. As a manager, you have to see the positives and I think Pires has a vaccine for the rest of his life.
Arsene Wenger
Image
If you do not believe you can do it then you have no chance at all.
Arsene Wenger
Image
It's like a child who is used to having ice cream whenever he wants. When it doesn't come when he asks he tends to get confused and nervous.
Arsene Wenger
Image
I am supposed to take the bullets and absorb them. Like a bear, a polar bear.
Arsene Wenger
Image
It's silly to work hard the whole week and then spoil it by not preparing properly before the game.
Arsene Wenger
Image
Gerard is an open-minded and passionate man. I am the opposite: stubborn and stupid. But sometimes stupid behaviour makes you win.
Arsene Wenger
Image
When I first came to Arsenal, I realised the back four were all university graduates in the art of defending. As for Tony Adams, I consider him to be a doctor of defence. He is simply outstanding.
Arsene Wenger
Image
I'm French. I have not become an Englishman. I have the impression of living on an island called Arsenal. If you fancy a sightseeing tour of London, don't ask me. You would get lost.

Work on your strong points because they are what made you.

A football team is a like a beautiful woman, when you do not tell her, she forgets she is beautiful

We played a whole season unbeaten but you did not see me every week jumping on the tables. Once it's over it's over and you do in the next one as well as you can. Plenty of managers who have won the Champions League will not be considered great managers.
Arsene Wenger
Image
If I go into a season and I say, 'For f***'s sake, if we don't win anything, they will all leave,' I have already lost. The problem of the media is always to imagine the worst. The problem of the manager is always to imagine the best.
